Query execution using containerized state-free search nodes in a containerized scalable environment

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for processing and executing queries in a data intake and query system. The query identifies a set of data to be processed and a manner of processing the set of data. The data intake and query system dynamically identifies a plurality of containerized search nodes instantiated on one or more computing devices in a containerized environment to execute the query. The data intake and query system executes the query using the containerized search nodes.
